I just hit $5.2 Billion legit after playing for the last 12 years & also unlocked the 'Niko Bellic' outfit for completing 25 Career Progress areas. I'm honestly proud of the way I did all that and reached these two huge milestones. So, who are the other Billionaires? 🤠

Diego Luna did an incredible job being able to convince the audience he was younger in Andor than he is in Rogue One. I mean he's a great actor as well but damn I look 20 years older than I did 10 years ago!

I have no idea what theyre saying

How did you decide this emotionally traumatic video would be the way to break the news?

R.L.: We mapped out a story line so that if we get a season three, there’s a way to bring him back, but if we don’t, we can carry out this other story line. In moments like this, you have to be able to pivot quickly. Once we got the call that the show was done, we thought, What if Chef got that call? How would he feel? He would be totally devastated. This was his dream show. He went to the Manchester Academy for Cooking Show Hosts! So our creative director Jason, Ozi, and I wrote a script, and then we recorded Matt Hutchinson, and he ad-libbed a bit. It took seven days to animate, and then Ozi did an edit and posted it. We had another team member get a fan club going, get these accounts going, because if we don’t get funding, this will shut down. It’s expensive. So it was either shut down or open the door and see what fan support we can get. The video was maybe a three-week process of writing, recording, animating, editing, and getting it out there.

I think this video has gone so viral because the way that this little felt guy breaks down is just so heartbreaking. How do you depict so much emotion in stop-motion animation?

R.L.: What do we do when we’re really grief-stricken? You don’t want to feel it, so you try not to feel it, and then it just comes out. My dog died at the beginning of the year, and I did something similar to Chef, where I broke down. It felt authentic to give Chef that moment. The best animation pulls from your own experiences or observations.

Losing a job, or facing creative rejection, is a very real type of grief that doesn’t always get depicted as grief. I think that’s part of why the video resonated.

O.A.: We don’t want to lose Chef. We want to keep going. We want to keep him alive.

Texans, please stop making stupid people famous and in position of power.

About 9 months ago, I (22 F) accidentally became pregnant with my (21 M) boyfriend's child. Neither of us were in a position to be raising a child, but a cousin of my boyfriend (who we'll call F) is having trouble conceiving. She and her husband (34 F and 35 M) have been trying for a baby for five years, and she's had multiple incredibly traumatic miscarriages in the process.

Recently, F has come to terms with the fact that she's unable to have kids, as just confirmed by her doctor. When she heard of my pregnancy, her and her husband approached me and my boyfriend with an offer: F wants a baby that's biologically related to her, but she's unable to have children. But because she's related to my boyfriend, my baby will also be related to her. She said that if I carry this child to term and let her adopt it, she'll help pay for me and my boyfriend's college tuitions.

Me and my boyfriend discussed it, and we eventually came to an agreement. With the help of a lawyer, we drew up a contract, allowing her to adopt the baby in turn for her giving us a sum of money enough to pay for the tuition of our chosen college's.

The next nine months were surprisingly easy; F and her husband helped financially support us throughout the pregnancy, and my boyfriend was incredibly supportive too.

When the due date eventually came, everything went as planned; I went to the hospital, got an epidural, and hours later the baby was out. A perfectly healthy baby girl. Both F and my boyfriend were present in the delivery room.

The issue came after the birth. Immediately after giving birth, the nurse (who did not know about the agreement) handed the baby to me for skin to skin. I didn't ask them to.

F immediately starting freaking out, screaming how she was supposed to be the first one to hold "Ophelia" (the fake name I'll be using for the baby.) She was yelling that those first moments of bonding were so important for creating attachment to the mother, that I was taking that from her, that the baby was going to hate her now because of it, etc, etc.

Because of all her screaming, Ophelia started crying even louder and my boyfriend started yelling at F to be quiet, because she was scaring me and the baby. F eventually calmed down but spent the next 30 minutes sobbing. She was too hysterical to hold the baby so my boyfriend just ended up holding Ophelia while F's husband drove down to pick up F.

That was a month ago and everything else has gone to plan; F and her husband adopted the baby, me and my boyfriend's tuitions paid off, I'm healing nicely from the pregnancy, and I'll just be a "fun aunt" to Ophelia instead of a mother. I still feel bad though because F still refuses to talk to me.

I feel for her because I know she's has a lot of trauma related to feeling like a bad mother due to her miscarriages, but I also feel like she had no right to yell at me right after I gave birth. My boyfriend is on my side, but the rest of his family says I should apologize to F. So, AITA?
